"I have tremendous respect for Oliver, not just because of his amazing body of music, but the commitment to raising people up in all the work he does.  ...it is high time the rest of us have a chance to see what has made "Tuku" such a treasure in his homeland."

Utne Reader

"Mtukudzi is more of a soul man,  delivering the goods with a distinct gospel/R&B air. Like a laid-back Teddy Pendergrass, Mtukudzi exhorts gently, and when you slow down, you get down with this super-melodic set. Tuku Music is a much overdue introduction to one of the giants of African pop."

Folkroots

"Mtukudzi's tuneful compositions possess an irresistible melancholy that tantalizingly blurs the edges between sadness and joy."

Washington Post

"When Mtukudzi trades lines with backup singers Mwendi Chibindi and Mary Bell, it seems possible that the entire world might come into sync with the sauntering cadence."

The New York Times

"Mr., Mtukudzi was the concert's discovery." 

CNN WorldBeat

"(Mtukudzi) ..further confirms the essential place African music has in contemporary culture."
